| Summary |
"Les angoysses douloureuses qui procedent damours" by Hélisenne de Crenne is a narrative work written in the early 16th century. This novel explores the intricate and painful experience of love through the eyes of its main character, Helisenne, who faces emotional turmoil as she navigates her feelings for her husband and a new love interest, Guenelic. The text delves into themes of desire, jealousy, and the struggles of maintaining virtue in the face of passionate love. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist addresses her audience, imploring women to be cautious of the pains that love can inflict, as she reflects on her own afflictions. Hélisenne expresses a desire to communicate her sorrows to her contemporaries, hoping they will learn from her misfortunes. The opening also introduces us to her initial happiness in marriage, contrasting sharply with the inner conflict that arises as she encounters a new romantic interest. This sets the stage for Hélisenne's deep emotional struggles as she grapples with her conflicting affections, establishing a foundation for the exploration of love’s torment throughout the novel.
